UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

SAMUEL SOLOMON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO v JOSEPH J.(JOHN, OF SAME PLACE.

POCKET CIGARETTE-MAKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,489, dated May 11,1897.

I Application filed July 9, 1896. Serial No. 598,516. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LSAMUEL SOLOMON, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of New York city, county of New York, and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pocket Cigarette-Makers, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similarletters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to an improved pocket folding cigarette-makingdevice; and the object is to provide a device of this character whichmay be conveniently carried in the pocket, which is always ready foruse, which is effective in operation, simple in construction, andinexpensive to manufacture, and which at all times is supplied with aquantity of tobacco.

The invention also provides a means for retaining a moistener used formoistening the cigarette-paper.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to behereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure1 is a perspective view of a pocket folding cigarettemaking deviceembodying my invention, the same being shown as ready to begin theoperation of rolling a cigarette. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are transversesections of the same, showing the device in the position it will assumedur ing the process of forming and completing a cigarette.

A A designate, respectively, two sections of a box hinged together at aand adapted to fold one upon the other, the section marked A havingarranged within it the parts which operate to form the cigarette and thesection marked A being designedto carry the material from which thecigarette is to be formed.

Two arms B are pivoted to the inner sides of the section A, and theirfree ends project over into the section A and carry a roller B, whichextends across the whole width of the section A, and the ends of thisroller B travel in guideways b, arranged at each side of the section A,as already shown in the drawings.

0 is a band of silk or other suitable fabric, one end of which isfastened to the section A, and passingover the roller B has its otherend fastened to a bridge-piece D, arranged within the section A.

Immediately above the bridge-piece D and extending across the entirewidth of the section A is a spring-retained moistenin g device, hereinshown as a hinged plate E, -'provided at its inner or free end with apad, upon the under side of which any desired moistening or adhesivematerial may be spread, which, when the plate E is depressed by thefinger, will apply a sufficient quantity to the edge of the paperunderneath it to properly secure the cigarette. I

In practice I place upon the band C a leaf of cigarette-paper 0, (shownclearly in Fig. 1,) in one end of which a sufficient quantity of tobaccois placed to form a cigarette. The section A is then moved to fold overupon the section A. The arms B and their connected roller B draw theband 0, thus giving to the paper 0 a revolving motion, thus wrappingaround itself and securely folding the tobacco within it, a completeclosing of the two sections A A being sufficient to roll the paper itsentire length, when the adhesive or moistening material, having beenpreviously applied to the edge of the paper, fastens to its body. Thusthe operation of forming a cigarette is completed.

The advantages of my invention will be apparent, and the arrangement ofthe section A so that a quantity of tobacco can always be carried in itwill be of great convenience to the user.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination with the sections A A, the former having arranged withinita band C, a bridge-piece D and spring-retained moistener E, of aroller B carried in arms B pivoted to the section A, and working inguideways 19, arranged at each side of the section A, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of two witnesses, this 6th day of July, 1896.

SAMUEL SOLOMON.
